Bang Bang Chicken Tacos

Bang Bang Chicken Tacos

Needless to say, Bang Bang Chicken Tacos were a fun dinner recipe I was pretty pumped about đŸ™‚

I’m pretty obsessed with bang bang sauce, and have a love of tacos that’s pretty much indescribable.

Recently I made Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp and also Bang Bang Chicken Wings.

You’d think I’d be sick of this sauce by now, but nope…

I just keeping dreaming about more and more recipes that feature it đŸ™‚

How to make Bang Bang Chicken Tacos

These tacos start with a diced onion cooked in a skillet over medium heat.

Then I added garlic, a pound of ground chicken, kosher salt, and pepper.

This will cook for a few minutes and you’ll need to break the chicken apart as it cooks.

As the chicken was cooking away on the stove, I made a quick and easy bang bang sauce.

Whisk together mayo (or light mayo if you prefer), sweet Thai chili sauce, and Sriracha.

Once the chicken is done, add in most of the bang bang sauce and stir it until evenly combined.

Oh, and save the rest of the yummy sauce to drizzle over top.

Any good taco needs a crunch factor, so for these we are using shredded carrots and red cabbage.

And hey, bonus points for a pop of color and a bit of healthiness sprinkled in here đŸ™‚

After filling the tortillas with some of the crunchy carrots and cabbage, time to pile on the star of this show…the bang bang chicken!

Then all that’s left to do is top your Bang Bang Chicken Tacos with green onions if desired, and more of the sauce on the side.
